A new study rebukes notion that only men were hunters in ancient times. It found little evidence to support the idea that roles were assigned specifically to each sex. Women were not only physically capable of being hunters, but there is little evidence to support that they were not hunting.

    I believe that FEEEEEMALES statistically select for conveniently helpmeet roles in a way that makes exceptions and different cultures irrelevant because biotruths, and I do it in a plausibly deniable way that doesn’t sound like misogyny, bucko. up-yours-woke-moralists

    it’s probably worth taking a step back from the monitor for a few minutes

    You first, and take your fedora with you after tipping it.
